What your child practices

These 2 worksheets pair the passage "Grandpa's Boat" with 9 questions for 1st grade readers (Grade 1 in Canada). Early readers build comprehension by retelling, spotting key details and talking about what happened, so short passages with simple questions are ideal at this stage. Inside you will find Reading Comprehension and Written Response. The skill matches Common Core RL.1.1, the standard for asking and answering questions about key details in a story. It also touches RL.1.2, retelling a story and finding its central message. Each PDF includes its own answer key on page 2, ready for you or your child to check. Finished a sheet? The online version reads every question aloud and checks answers instantly.

Tips for parents

  • Read the questions aloud for early readers, and let them point to the answer in the pictures or text.
  • If an answer is wrong, send your child back to the text rather than giving the answer.
  • Ask your child to underline the sentence that proves each answer. Finding evidence is the real skill.
